Two colours, one image, loads of attitude. Its a full kiss lip shape with a deep royal blue satin fill across the top, dotted with white five-point stars in a scattered pattern. The bottoms solid bright red. Theres no outline separating the two halves, they meet at the centre parting line so the entire shape reads as one continuous form. Under the lips, MERICA sits in wide block letters, also royal blue, with a slightly lighter blue edge that gives the text a subtle raised look without going full three-dimensional.
Six sizes from 1.86 by 2 inches up to 6.48 by 7 inches. Stitch range is 4,885 on the smallest up to 25,828 on the largest. Only two colour stops so the thread changes are minimal, and its honestly one of the faster patriotic pieces to run through a full batch. A customer told me shed run through the whole large size in one sitting without stopping to rethink tension mid-job. Set up with care for clean colour transitions, 569 stitches per square inch so the satin sits firm without being boardy. Itll work on both woven and stable knit without needing a topping swap between the two.
Use white, pale grey or natural canvas as your base. Dark backgrounds swallow the red and the MERICA text disappears against navy so dont bother trying to make it work on black. Pop a light topping on any knit to keep the fills crisp. Hoop the piece square so the lettering doesnt sit tilted, it looks particularly bad at an angle compared to a curved script font. Skip heavy denim for the small sizes, the needle punch leaves visible holes if you have to unpick.
Ive had a few people ask this past summer if it comes in a bigger version for tote bags. It does, the 6-inch fills a standard tote front panel nicely and the text is wide enough to read from a few steps away.
Text me if the star scatter on the blue section looks uneven on your machine and Ill send a corrected version.
What people are using this design for
A starting point. The design works for plenty more than just this list, this is what folks have stitched it onto most.
- 4th of July womens t-shirt chestUse the 5-inch on a white womens t-shirt chest and the blue and red read bold and clean against the white ground for a no-fuss festive outfit
- Patriotic tote bag front panelSew the large 6-in on a fabric tote front front panel and the block MERICA text reads from across the street, great for a market or street fair carry
- Independence Day tank topThe 4-inch on a black or white tank top chest sits just below the neckline and the two-colour design looks intentional and graphic not busy
- Girls patriotic hat or visorPut the 2-inch on a baseball cap or visor front panel, the small size keeps the star detail but doesnt crowd the panel
- Red white and blue crop topThe 4-inch on a white crop top gives you a bold festival piece with only two thread colours so the machine run is fast and the result punches above its stitch count

About the artist
Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site
Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.
That's the joy I work for.
The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
